Answer

$x=2,x= -6$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is: $4x-12=-x^{2}$ Step 1: Write the equation in standard form. $x^{2}+4x-12=0$ Step 2: Graph the related function $y= x^{2}+4x-12$ Step 3: Find the $x$-intercept(s). The $x$-intercepts are $2$, $-6$. Solutions are $x=2$, $x= -6$. Check the solutions: $4(2)-12=-4, -(2^2)=-4\checkmark$ $4(-6)-12=-36, -(-6)^2=-36\checkmark$
